An air bag is actually a sack or bad that is inflated by a very small explosive charge.
The car makers currently use a small electric shock to set the explosion off.
The most simple system to control the electricity for this is a small special switch usually mounted on or in the front bumper support. It measures the direction and speed of impact and triggers the air bag before the electrical system or battery is damaged in the crash.
Newer systems actually are computer controlled and decide what air bags and how hard to set them off in the split second between impact and the car being damaged so much the electrical system stops working.

What is a driver airbag squib?
This is an educated guess... A squib is a firework (aka pyrotechnic) and most airbag designs are inflated by pyrotechnic means. Therefore I believe the squib is the charge that triggers airbag inflation.

When was Airbag created?

How do airbags work?
Well, when a car crashes there is a sensor in the front of the car wich if hit hard enough sends a pulse to another sensor which triggers a tank of nitrogen gas witch inflates the airbag. all this hapens in a split second.
How an air bag works?
when your crash you hit a sensor and it sends a shock to the airbag whick ignights a fuse that triggers a explosion and forces hot air into the air bag which is why when an air bag is deployed its hot and causes burns/ scratches look like road rash it also doesn't help the airbag has to be strong and the material feels like 1000 grit sand paper
